Good morning one and all,
The Pens are back in Pittsburgh, where they will play the Lightning for the 10th time this season, this time for the right to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals. It's quite a turnaround if you go back and think of that dud of a 4-0 loss in New Jersey when things looked very bleak. [PPG]
This is kind of funny to imagine, because he's only 28, but a third of the Pens roster was in high school idolizing Sidney Crosby when he was in his first two Cup finals, and now they are teammates trying to get back there together.
